Course aims

Property is an exciting and challenging field that has become increasingly complex and professional over the last 20 years. The Urban Estate Management program is designed to provide:

• valuers, real estate practitioners, property managers and other property practitioners with opportunities to enhance and extend their qualifications and expertise in the field, and
• graduates in other fields such as architects, builders, planners, engineers, quantity surveyors, lawyers, project managers, economists and financiers with the opportunity to extend their professional qualifications and their understanding of property development and investment issues and techniques.

Expected outcomes of the program for students are as follows:

• an understanding of the social, environmental, political, economic, managerial, legal and physical systems which contribute collectively to the effective management and development of property assets
• the ability to initiate and/or create proposals for the development of property and, as part of this process, satisfy economic, social, financial, legal, planning and building constraints
• the ability to determine the needs of the client organisation
• the ability to establish an appropriate management structure, in order to allow the development to be completed as efficiently as possible
• the ability to monitor the development process ensuring that all consultants, the project manager and contractors satisfy the client's needs
• the ability to estimate the social costs and benefits of development and, with community acceptance of this ability, to manage a property investment portfolio in order to provide an adequate return to the owner
• the ability to satisfy the needs of tenants
• the ability to protect, maintain, develop and enhance the urban environment, and
• the development of a keen appreciation of the professional ethic which emphasises responsibility and responsiveness to the community to initiate and/or create proposals for the development of property.
